Weekly loot drops in Destiny just got a lot better

Destiny players can expect to find better, more powerful gear in return for their efforts.

Today’s Destiny hot fix made a bunch of important changes, but the one that’s going to affect the most people is that weekly loot drops just got significantly better.

Bungie has made adjustments to the loot tables for both Nightfall Strikes and Weekly Crucible Bounties, which apart from the raid are the major end-game activities each week.

The key point you need to know is: the basic attack or defense stat of gear dropped from these activities has been adjusted upwards by ten points. That gives you a much better chance of picking up gear that will push your overall Light level up to Raid-ready or better.

Bungie has also increased the number of Strange Coins you’ll earn in both activities, added Ghosts to the loot tables for both activities, significantly upped your chances of Legendary tier rewards in Nightfalls and removed Antiquated Runes from Nightfall drops.
